My boat has been sitting indoors for about 6 years. I didn't have it winterized etc after last use so I figure the carburators are gummed up. So I have removed all three carbs and soaking them in Berrys carb cleaner and then blowing out with compressed air. Is this all there is to properly cleaning them? I blew out all the small passage ways etc. So far this has seemed pretty simple so I just wanted to see if this should be adequate to keep the boat from bogging down ( assuming no other problems ). I tried to clean them in past but only with carb cleaner ( no soaking and no compressed air ). The boat bogged down once I got past idle speed so I ended up taking it to the mechanic.
I am hoping to avoid that this time due to both time and money.
Also I am replacing the gaskets but floats, needle valve, jets all seem to be okay.
Thanks for any advice.
